Lord Blencathra: To ask Her Majesty’s Government, whether they have any plans to investigate working conditions in warehouse distribution centres operated by large online retailers.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe: The Government is absolutely clear that employers must take their employment law responsibilities seriously - this means making sure workers are paid properly and enjoy the employment rights they are entitled to.However, I am sure the Noble Lord will understand that it would be inappropriate for me to comment on proposed or ongoing investigations.
